The Jamtal Hut belongs to the Schwaben section of the DAV, and following avalanche damage, was rebuilt in 1999. A large Category I hut, it is fully manned from mid-February to early May, and from the end of June to the end of September, with 90 beds and 100 dormitory places (tel 05443 8408). Unusually, the hut also contains an indoor climbing wall. It has been wardened by members of the Lorenz family since the hut was first built in 1882.

Routes from the Jamtal Hut

Numerous summits, of varying degrees of difficulty, are accessible from the Jamtal Hut, among them the 3197m glacier-hung Dreiländerspitz (so-named because it links the borders of Vorarlberg, Tyrol and Switzerland), the Gemsspitze (3114m), Südliches Fluchthorn (3399m), and the 2987m Westliches Gamshorn.

Perhaps of greater relevance to users of this guide, though, is the number of pass crossings that exist in the neighbourhood.

 On the west side of the valley lies the 2965m Getschnerscharte whose crossing leads to the Bielerhöhe in 4½–5hrs.
